Darkness…
You open your eyes and are greeted by a vast number of twinkling silver stars. No land. No sound. Only the silence of space. Yet you feel something beneath you… something you can't see quite clearly. A light in the distance… a growing ball of soft white light coming towards you (or are you coming towards IT?) reveals the silhouetted outline of a horse - a black horse. You can feel a set of wings slowly beating, slightly behind where you are set upon its back.
The Light grows, and the pegasus stops, folding its wings in to its sides. You can hear the clack of hooves on… something… yet you can't see anything. The light at this point illuminates all you can see - it shines off a glass floor, and down a glass corridor. You slide off the winged equine's back and land smoothly on the invisible glass floor. You can make the black pegasus out clearly now. He tosses his black mane proudly as you stare up at him.
You turn to stare down the long glass corridor, it seems to have no end. "Welcome Traveler." The voice sounds out of nowhere. Soft, slow… You search around you for its source, even eyeing the pegasus suspiciously. "Here…" Someone lays a hand gently on your shoulder, and you turn around to see a dark silhouette of a cloaked figure. "Hope I didn't startle you. It's hard to see someone wearing black in the depths of space…" You look closely and from the soft illuminating light, you can make just barely make out the face of a black feline! "Forgive my appearance… I may seem strange to those who have never seen a humanoid feline before." He smiles. "My name is Shiron, I am one of many Leuians. Welcome to the Realm of the Unknown. Currently called so because it has not yet been given a clearer name by its discoverers. Here you will find a magical space in the deep void of the cosmos where any type of habitat is created merely by wishing it to be so. A stone weyr for a dragon, a lush valley or forest for a unicorn, deer or centaur. A cottage for a human… a garden for a fairy… anything is possible. One needs only wish it to be, open one of the infinite number of doors to what would be an empty realm, and it will appear. Mark the golden plaque mounted on the clear gateway and the realm will remain.
"Now that you know how the realm of the unknown works, perhaps you would like to become a Realm-Traveler and explore those realms which have been created for and by our many inhabitants." Shiron smiles and motions with a black paw towards the endless Crystal Hallway. "Choose a door, and perhaps I shall see ye again…"

"I'm afraid I can't let you past the 5th Doors," a tiger patterned Leuian stops you from going any further. "Don't ask me why… they just stuck me here." She smiles. "I'm Rajia. I don't hold any information for you other than cranky old Zari in the Office isn't the ruler, leader or head of the Realm of the Unknown as she claims to be. She just does the paperwork. She thinks she's the most important player in the Realm because of that… senile old… err..umm… heh ^.^ anywho… Everyone here owns there own piece of the Realm, whether they be Leuian, Human, Elf, or other … some realms aren't even controlled by any one being, but are created specifically for the creatures that live within - such as the LonQuest Forest and the Wild-Sand Desert. Any creature transferred to those areas of the Realm are there under the name of VynVyn. Now THERE'S a character! >>rolls eyes<< Her and her friends are a little nutz-o! But then, they're the true owners of the Realm… they rarely show their faces around here though… them not being too suited to this type of environment. They'd rather be around giant talking evil mantises and aliens that yell - throw pies and pancakes at each other and… actually that sounds fun…"
